unknown .22 revolver

bigb831 · 05-14-2009, 09:49 AM

my grandpa has a nice old h&r .22 revolver but there's no model name/number on it. its a break top with a 7 round cylender. his dad bought it in1932{roughly}. i was wondering if anyone might have a guess as to what the model is. just wondering because it needs the plastic grips replaced because the are carcked pretty bad. any info/guesses would help. thanks

Pretty high chance of it being a Premier if it has a hammer.

Grips...chances are you'll have to either make something else fit...or carve some yourself. The upside...you can use almost any solid substance to make 'em...deer horn...

Numrich does have grips listed, but few pics...

This set has a listing for Premier models...I'd hazard a guess that yours is a Small Frame Premier.

As mentioned above, without pics, it's just a guess.
